I have collected malas for years, and this is one of the finest monkey head walnut strands I have seen. No cracks, perfect symmetry, and a beautiful deep color.

Beautiful but heavy
The beads are gorgeous and exactly as described. Just be aware that natural walnut is denser than wood, so the strand has a nice weight to it. Love the vintage feel.

Perfect for daily practice
Smooth finish means no snagging on clothing or skin. The 108 count is accurate, and the guru bead is tied securely. Highly recommend for serious practitioners.

Authentic Vintage Feel
You can feel the history in these beads. The smoothing from years of use is evident but not worn down. Excellent craftsmanship and preservation.

Absolutely Stunning Quality
The patina on these walnut beads is incredible. You can tell they are genuine vintage pieces. The smooth barrel shape feels wonderful in the hand during meditation.
Q: What is the approximate weight of the full strand?
A: Due to the density of the walnut material, the full 108-bead strand weighs approximately 85 to 95 grams.
Q: Is the string elastic or knotted?

A: While designed for meditation practices, many customers wear it as a statement necklace due to its beautiful vintage aesthetic and smooth finish.
Q: How should I clean these vintage beads?
A: We recommend gently wiping them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners to preserve the natural patina and integrity of the walnut.
Q: Are these beads made from real walnut seeds?
